Applications The RD 3 pump is suitable for freshwater, brackwater, saltwater and to pump other non-aggressive, non-explosive liquids that do not contain oil. It can haul clean as well as – to a certain extent – polluted water. The pump is not suitable for water with larger particles. The pollutants may not exceed 0.8cm in size. In general the pump is to be used for applications with clean water.Cleanwaterinthiscaseisdefinedaswaternotcontaining solid particles, which could damage the bearings. Examples for particles or pollutants not suitable are sand or pyrolosite after a manganese peroxide treatment in a pond. Damages caused by such pollutants in the water do not fall under warranty or service. The most common use case for the RD 3 pumps are in the context of filtration systems (aquariums, ponds or swimming pools) and/or to supply a beck/creek or waterfall. The pump is not self-supplying and therefore can be used above the water surface and only in combination with a backpressure valve on the inlet pipe. In this case the pump hastobefilledwithwaterbeforitissetintooperation. Temperature of the liquid Environment temperature Max. working pressure if the pump is set into operation even though it is damaged, any warranty and liability is void. Pull the plug electrical socket and make sure that the pump cannot be switch on. During the course of the installation the pump may not be connected to the power supply. To avoid injuries take care to not reach into opening of the pumpwithyourhandsorfingers,whenthepumpisconnected to the power supply. 5.1. Controller The controller may not be used outdoors. It is only approved for indoor usage. Furthermore the controller may not be opposed to direct sunlight or direct heat sources (powerful lamps, central heating etc.). Adequate air ventilation has to be assured. Therefore a minimal distance of 10cm to each side from the next cabinet/shelve has to be assured. An adequate air ventilation of the room has to be assured. : +2 to +40°C. : 0 °C to max. +50 °C : 2bar (20m head of water) 5. Fitting Caution: Before you install the pump you have to read the manual thoroughly. Damages, which are caused because the manual was not read thoroughly, do not fall under warranty. When unpacking the pump, check whether all parts were delivered completely and undamaged. Detected damages have to be reported within 8 days after the purchase of the pump at your retail location. When unpacking the pump, it is possible that the inside of the pump is wet. The pump is tested before it leaves the factory. >10cm >10cm >10cm >10cm Prior to its packaging the pump is treated with a biodegradable disinfectant in order to neutralize possibly present bacteria. The pump therefore has to be purged with water thoroughly before usage. Please check the pump for damages before you set it into operation. Should the pump have damages it may not be set into operation. Please inform your retailer immediately For more information, please visit www.royal-exclusiv.de.

Pump The pump may be used in almost any position. However it hast so stand stable on a solid base. The inlet pipe is connected to the suction side of the pump 1. It has to be assured that the pump can be de-aerated trough the outlet 2. 2 2 1 Forusageinpollutedwatertheapplicationofaprefilteris necessary. It is recommend to use a quick release (or 3 step release), so that the pump can be quickly disconnected in order to simplify cleaning and maintenance work on the pump. 1 The pump should ideally be placed beneath the water level 3. The pump can be placed submersed 4 or out of the water (dry) 5. In the case of a dry placement, adequate air ventilation has to be assured. Furthermore the pump may not be exposed to direct sunlight. Place the pump as close as possible to the actual water connection; hence the inlet piping has to be as short as possible. 3 4 5 6 3 The piping has to be installed in a way that possible mechanical tensions, which result from varying temperatures, do not affect the housing of the pump. 5.3. Inlet pipe Ifnosufficientamountofwaterreachesthepumpbecause the drag of the inlet pip is to strong, the pump will consume a lot of power and the electronics gets very warm in the long run. The electronic contains a self-protection mechanism for this case and will lower the power. If the pump delivers less and less water after hours or days of operation it is possible that the inlet piping is too large. The best thing is to enlarge the diameter of the piping on the inlet side by 1 – 2 sizes directly in front of the pump, in order to maximize the delivery rate and to minimize energy consumption. Any coupling has to be 100% air-proof. If a tube is used as inlet,thishastofulfiltherequirementsofasuctionpipe. 7 6 If the pump is placed above the water level 6 the installation of a backpressure valve 7 is mandatory. In this case the inletpipingofthepumphastobefilledwithwaterbefore the pump is set to operation. In such a setup the risk of the pump to run dry is very high, when the backpressure valve does not work properly. Damages which are caused by the pump running dry are excluded from warranty. It is very important, that the initial inlet at the pump is straight. (Minimum distance of Ø 3-5 x the diameter of the inletpipesfromthehousingtothefirstbow).Inthiswaythe efficiency factor is maximized, because the water enters laminary at the impeller.

Electrical connection – setting-up operation 6. Operation of the RD3 pumps with controller Check whether voltage and frequency on the type label of the pump match the supply voltage. The person responsible for the installation has to check whether a standard conform grounding is available. It is necessary to check if the electrical installation has a highly sensitive earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB/GFCI) is available (30mA – DIN VDE 0100T739). The fuse for the electrical net has to be one level high then the fuse of the pump. Important Notice: The imprint on the buttons and LEDs may vary troughout the text, the functions however remain the same. Fuse dimensions: up to 80 Watt pump min. 2 A lightning main min. 4 A 5.6. Overload protection The RD 3 Pumps have an electronic and electric overload protection. If the rotor gets blocked, the motor is switched off. Once the blockade is reversed, you can restart the pump. Additionally it will, should the situation arise, restart itself for up to 5 times. If the pump is still blocked after 5 attempts “Error” occurs in the display and the pump switches off permanently. Only disconnection and reconnection from and to the power supply can restart the pump. This assumes that the cause of the blockage was redeemed. 5.7. Turning the head of the RD 3 MiniSpeedy, Speedy + Freshwater pump with + without turnable bypass The head of the RD3 80W pump with bypass can be turned into three directions. The bypass is designed to be freely turn able and can be turned in any direction with the pump head. The bypass tube can be exchanged. Press the socket on the black elbow down a bit and the tube can be pulled out. The display is in W (the actual measured effective power / energy meter consumption). ote: when you press the button, the pump in 5 Watt increments can be regulated. After a loss of the electrical power supply the pump will restart in the last valid setting automatically. Pressing the “plus-key” increases the revolution of the pump.Thustheflowrateand the energy consumption increase.Pressing the “minuskey” decreases the revolution ofthepump.Thustheflowrateandtheenergyconsumption decrease.

After 2-3 seconds the display switches to the effective power mode. 7. Maintenance and cleaning of the RD3 Mini Speedy, Speedy and Freshwater pumps Disconnect the pump from the power supply prior to each maintenance work. Red Dragon®supply-andflowpumps are essentially to be classified as low-maintenance. Usually the necessary maintenance work is limited to a check of the impellor for obstruction. Remove obstacles from the impellor with a slim and spiky tool. A decreasing supply rate is often the result of dirt. Possible calcinations (especially in saltwater applications) has to be removed with a very soft acid as for instance vinegar. Avoid applying pressure to the sides of the impellor or the rotor. The pump can be disassembled nearly completely for cleaning. Infreshwater-andsaltwaterapplicationscalcificationonly appearsinveryhardwaterandafteracompletere-fillingof the pond.

When this is done the whole pumps head can be removed. I necessary the impeller unit can be removed, by cautiously pulling on the rotor with. When you pull on the rotor, be very careful, as the impellor is held in its position by the magnet. If you release the rotor while trying to pull it out, the bearing can get a serious damage. 7.1. Decalcification, cleaning and assembly of the RD3 MiniSpeedy, Speedy and Freshwater pumps Decalcify the pump completely. Please do not use hydrochloric acid, not even in extenuated form. This may damagethepumpbeyondrepair.Afterthedecalcification purge the pump with clear water. Re-assemble the pump. Very important: Tighten the screws loosely crossed over and the fix them semi-solidly (hand tight). Use fitting hexagon key to loosen the 4 screws from the case. Do not underestimate the power of the magnet. If you slightly losse the grip and the axis hits the rear bearing, the risk to damage the bearing is very high. A damage bearing causes high reparation costs. Grab rotor and and cautiously pull out completely. Check parts for calcification. After maintenance you can assemble the pump in reversedorder.Pleasepayattentiontofirstonlylooselyfix the in crossed over order and then fix them semi-solid (hand tight). For the usage of a cordless screwdriver see the picture. The O-seals of the pump are made from silicone or EPDM/ Viton, depending on the application. Please use only fresh and original O-seals with the correct thickness and hardness as replacement. When O-seals are aging, the hardness slightly changes. When you re-assemble the pump, the O-seals should always be replaced by new ones. This will increase the lifespan of the pump. Silicone and EPDM / Viton O-seals are resistant against acids and bases. Attention: The 80 Watt RD3hastanadditionalaxialfloatingbearing on the rear shaft. Remove this bearing in the case of calcification cautiously and decalcify seperatly. The bearing has to be installed on the axis before the pump is re-assembled.Thebearingneedstobefixatedbeforeassembly as seen on the third picture. The axial bearing is not compulsory and only serves to avoid radial run-outs while restarting the pump. 7.2. Power outages and emergency power supply After a blackout the pump will start automatically and the controller will set up the last chosen speed. The pump can used on a commercial emergency power supplyoracommercialUPS,whichisfittedwitharectifier package. 7.3.
